Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Tip: Adjust spices to taste.
  3. Pour in diced tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes. Tip: Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess.
  4. Add chickpeas and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted and chickpeas are heated through, about 5 minutes. Tip: Add more spinach if desired.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm with rice or naan. Tip: Garnish with fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
